High School playoff football kicked off Friday and Saturday...
For the third straight year the Monticello Sages entered the Class 3A High School football playoffs under Coach Cullen Welter. The Sages travelled to St. Joseph-Ogden to take on the Spartans and won the game with a final score of 42-14. A well-played game all around for the Sages led to their victory. Ryan Donohue led the way for the Sages as he picked up 235 yards on 22 carries for 3 touchdowns and Jacob Williams had 10 carries for 173 yards. The Sages will head back home next week to take on the Tolono-Unity Rockets in round two of the 2011 Class 3A playoffs. That game can be heard live from Monticello High School on 95.9FM WEZC. (Time and day, to be determined)
